Upload the file to imgur using php and get the link

Question

Upload the file to imgur using php and get the link

I have an HTML form with a file upload button. I want the user to be able to select an image and submit the form, then the server must upload the file to imgur using PHP and get a direct link to this image (this means that the URL must end in .jpg or .png, etc. .)

I would really appreciate if anyone could show me how to upload an image to imgur using PHP and then get a direct link to that image so that I can save the link to the MySQL database. If there is no way to get a direct image link, then a regular imgur link will also work. So something like this will also work:

But the first priority is something like this:

Edit: So, I was able to upload the image and get json response using api. After I decode json, which returns and var_dump, I get the following:

object(stdClass)#1 (3) {
  ["data"]=>
  object(stdClass)#2 (21) {
    ["id"]=>
    string(7) "yPfV2Tq"
    ["title"]=>
    NULL
    ["description"]=>
    NULL
